Romans 8

NEW AMERICAN BIBLEDOUAI-RHEIMS
1 Hence, now there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.1 There is now therefore no condemnation to them that are in Christ Jesus, who walk not according to the flesh.
2 For the law of the spirit of life in Christ Jesus has freed you from the law of sin and death.2 For the law of the spirit of life, in Christ Jesus, hath delivered me from the law of sin and of death.
3 For what the law, weakened by the flesh, was powerless to do, this God has done: by sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for the sake of sin, he condemned sin in the flesh,3 For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh; God sending his own Son, in the likeness of sinful flesh and of sin, hath condemned sin in the flesh;
4 so that the righteous decree of the law might be fulfilled in us, who live not according to the flesh but according to the spirit.4 That the justification of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not according to the flesh, but according to the spirit.
5 For those who live according to the flesh are concerned with the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the spirit with the things of the spirit.5 For they that are according to the flesh, mind the things that are of the flesh; but they that are according to the spirit, mind the things that are of the spirit.
6 The concern of the flesh is death, but the concern of the spirit is life and peace.6 For the wisdom of the flesh is death; but the wisdom of the spirit is life and peace.
7 For the concern of the flesh is hostility toward God; it does not submit to the law of God, nor can it;7 Because the wisdom of the flesh is an enemy to God; for it is not subject to the law of God, neither can it be.
8 and those who are in the flesh cannot please God.8 And they who are in the flesh, cannot please God.
9 But you are not in the flesh; on the contrary, you are in the spirit, if only the Spirit of God dwells in you. Whoever does not have the Spirit of Christ does not belong to him.9 But you are not in the flesh, but in the spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.
10 But if Christ is in you, although the body is dead because of sin, the spirit is alive because of righteousness.10 And if Christ be in you, the body indeed is dead, because of sin; but the spirit liveth, because of justification.
11 If the Spirit of the one who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, the one who raised Christ from the dead will give life to your mortal bodies also, through his Spirit that dwells in you.11 And if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead, dwell in you; he that raised up Jesus Christ from the dead, shall quicken also your mortal bodies, because of his Spirit that dwelleth in you.
12 Consequently, brothers, we are not debtors to the flesh, to live according to the flesh.12 Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh.
13 For if you live according to the flesh, you will die, but if by the spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live.13 For if you live according to the flesh, you shall die: but if by the Spirit you mortify the deeds of the flesh, you shall live.
14 For those who are led by the Spirit of God are children of God.14 For whosoever are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.
15 For you did not receive a spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you received a spirit of adoption, through which we cry, "Abba, Father!"15 For you have not received the spirit of bondage again in fear; but you have received the spirit of adoption of sons, whereby we cry: Abba (Father).
16 The Spirit itself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God,16 For the Spirit himself giveth testimony to our spirit, that we are the sons of God.
17 and if children, then heirs, heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if only we suffer with him so that we may also be glorified with him.17 And if sons, heirs also; heirs indeed of God, and joint heirs with Christ: yet so, if we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified with him.
18 I consider that the sufferings of this present time are as nothing compared with the glory to be revealed for us.18 For I reckon that the sufferings of this time are not worthy to be compared with the glory to come, that shall be revealed in us.
19 For creation awaits with eager expectation the revelation of the children of God;19 For the expectation of the creature waiteth for the revelation of the sons of God.
20 for creation was made subject to futility, not of its own accord but because of the one who subjected it, in hope20 For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him that made it subject, in hope:
21 that creation itself would be set free from slavery to corruption and share in the glorious freedom of the children of God.21 Because the creature also itself shall be delivered from the servitude of corruption, into the liberty of the glory of the children of God.
22 We know that all creation is groaning in labor pains even until now;22 For we know that every creature groaneth and travaileth in pain, even till now.
23 and not only that, but we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, we also groan within ourselves as we wait for adoption, the redemption of our bodies.23 And not only it, but ourselves also, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption of the sons of God, the redemption of our body.
24 For in hope we were saved. Now hope that sees for itself is not hope. For who hopes for what one sees?24 For we are saved by hope. But hope that is seen, is not hope. For what a man seeth, why doth he hope for?
25 But if we hope for what we do not see, we wait with endurance.25 But if we hope for that which we see not, we wait for it with patience.
26 In the same way, the Spirit too comes to the aid of our weakness; for we do not know how to pray as we ought, but the Spirit itself intercedes with inexpressible groanings.26 Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmity. For we know not what we should pray for as we ought; but the Spirit himself asketh for us with unspeakable groanings.
27 And the one who searches hearts knows what is the intention of the Spirit, because it intercedes for the holy ones according to God's will.27 And he that searcheth the hearts, knoweth what the Spirit desireth; because he asketh for the saints according to God.
28 We know that all things work for good for those who love God, who are called according to his purpose.28 And we know that to them that love God, all things work together unto good, to such as, according to his purpose, are called to be saints.
29 For those he foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, so that he might be the firstborn among many brothers.29 For whom he foreknew, he also predestinated to be made conformable to the image of his Son; that he might be the firstborn amongst many brethren.
30 And those he predestined he also called; and those he called he also justified; and those he justified he also glorified.30 And whom he predestinated, them he also called. And whom he called, them he also justified. And whom he justified, them he also glorified.
31 What then shall we say to this? If God is for us, who can be against us?31 What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who is against us?
32 He who did not spare his own Son but handed him over for us all, how will he not also give us everything else along with him?32 He that spared not even his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how hath he not also, with him, given us all things?
33 Who will bring a charge against God's chosen ones? It is God who acquits us.33 Who shall accuse against the elect of God? God that justifieth.
34 Who will condemn? It is Christ (Jesus) who died, rather, was raised, who also is at the right hand of God, who indeed intercedes for us.34 Who is he that shall condemn? Christ Jesus that died, yea that is risen also again; who is at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.
35 What will separate us from the love of Christ? Will anguish, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or the sword?35 Who then shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation? or distress? or famine? or nakedness? or danger? or persecution? or the sword?
36 As it is written: "For your sake we are being slain all the day; we are looked upon as sheep to be slaughtered."36 (As it is written: For thy sake we are put to death all the day long. We are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.)
37 No, in all these things we conquer overwhelmingly through him who loved us.37 But in all these things we overcome, because of him that hath loved us.
38 For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor present things, nor future things, nor powers,38 For I am sure that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor might,
39 nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
